Biotech/Pharma capex and supplier stocks going down due to Bernie's nomination

[RuleNumberOne]

The following suppliers used for drug discovery by pharma/biotech fell today really hard.

 

A, PKI, TMO, BRKR, ILMN, WAT, MTD

 

The Iowa caucuses are on Monday. A Bernie win there will be a real jolt to healthcare stocks.

 

Pharma capex must be on hold until the elections are over.

 

Edit: Added MTD.

plea to admin...do not move this thread to politics. investment is not policy agnostic.

Its actually quite funny. Multiple days ago now, I accidentally started a thread on Simon Property Group in the General Discussion section. It still hasn't been moved to the correct place. Put up a thread with even a mouse fart sized hint of politics, Sanjeev will be here to move it in like 27.3333 minutes flat.

 

And fwiw, ILMN had earnings which is why it was down.
